I don't know if this is appropriate for this forum, so please kindly dicipline me, if I am out of line. :-)
Some days ago, as I was working on a Rails project, it occured to me that numerical values on ActiveRecord objects can be kind of annoying to work with and I got an idea for a solution that would give me an opportunity to dwell into metaprogramming and gem development - two fields on which I have no prior experience. The basic idea is to declare the units used in numeral attributes and exploit that knowledge for formatting and conversion purposes. Perhaps this has already been done before, although I wasn't able to find anything in a few quick Google searches. Anyway, Instead of repeating myself, I'd like you to skim the README on this new project of mine: https://github.com/nielsbuus/united_attributes I would really appreciate feedback on whether this is a good idea. And secondly, if you have the time, I'd would be nice to get some feedback on the details of the implementation as well. I know it has no specs yet, but that's because I'm using a Try-Driven Development process whenever venturing into new things. =) // Niels Buus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
